I’ve forgotten the password of an important PDF file that I created a long time ago. Unfortunately, I don’t have any backup or hint saved, and now I’m unable to open or edit the document. I want to know what are the practical techniques to recover a forgotten PDF password without damaging the file.
I’ve already explored a few common approaches such as checking old emails, trying frequently used passwords, and using online tools (which didn’t seem very safe for confidential documents). After that, I tried SysTools PDF Password Recovery software, and it actually helped me recover the password using different recovery modes like brute-force and dictionary attack.
Before I finalize my approach, I’d really appreciate suggestions from experts here.
